Universal Cardiac Surgical Risk Score (UCSRS v1.0)
Year: 2026
Type: software
Abstract: Browser-based calculator implementing UCSRS v1.1 (Universal Cardiac Surgical Risk Score). Computes 30-day operative risk from an internally calculated baseline, MELD, the Essential Frailty Toolset (EFT, 0-5), LV dimensions/SYNTAX and haemodynamic reserve, and reports five 30-day estimates: mortality, permanent stroke, renal failure, prolonged ventilation and reoperation. This release simplifies the results panel to the risk estimates alone (calculation detail available on request within the page); adds pulmonary status (none/acute/chronic/home oxygen), diabetes control method, cardiogenic shock, prior mediastinal radiation and immunocompromised state; labels the echo pressure field for PASP or RV systolic pressure; and computes MELD internally from bilirubin, INR and creatinine alone. Units toggle (conventional or SI) applies to every laboratory field. Includes the acceptance test suite.
